Abstract

A curtain control device has a stroke setting device and a damper respectively assembled at both ends of a curtain spindle rod. A torsion element is further assembled on the curtain spindle rod. A curtain spindle sleeve is invaginated on the outside of the curtain spindle rod, the stroke setting device and the damper. The curtain spindle sleeve is assembled with the combination of the curtain spindle rod and the damper, and then a curtain fabric is assembled on the outside of the curtain spindle sleeve. In this manner, the opening range of the curtain fabric roll is controlled by the stoke setting device, and the roll-up speed of each part of the curtain fabric is slowed down by the damper so as to reduce effectively the noise produced by the quick actuation of each part and the defective rate.
